We found this recipe while on a Daniel Fast, and had it the last day of the fast and it was SO GOOD that we added it to our regular meals list. We love the flavor the cinnamon an cumin added. Great with cornbread!

Mexican Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

We searched out this recipe while we were participating in a Daniel Fast, and used only whole wheat flour, olive oil, salt and water and they rolled out great, and were as good as could be expected with the ingredients we were limited to. We plan to play around with the flour ratios and find a new healthy and tastey alternative to store bought tortillas. Can't wait to get a tortilla press! I was mainly impressed that they rolled out so nicely and the recipe actually worked for me, I usually mess up toasting bread!

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2008

I'm giving this 5 stars because the texture and taste is super! I have been searching for a macNcheese recipe that tastes like the stuff in the freezer section that I can make at home with out all the preservatives and this is very close. We made some adjustments to the recipe, I believe cooking leaves room for personal preference, and a recipe isn't less of a recipe because it calls for mustard and I personally don't like it. We also found that there WAS too much cheese...I couldn't believe it! I didn't think there was such a thing. We did make some substitutions for the cheese..used 8oz velveeta, 8oz Cheddar and I used 12 ounces of whole milk and 1 can of evaporated milk. We still thought it could use some more milk because it set up really thick on our plate before we were able to finish eating the serving. We plan to play around with the recipe a bit to help make it a cheaper dish. With the substitutions I made, it cost about $8 to make 10 servings, which is a little pricey for a side dish for our family. I figured that the recipe as stated costs aproximately $10 for 10 servings.
